The 2019 novel coronavirus (CoV-19) is a dangerous virus which has caused a severe pandemic throughout the world. The covid-19 is not so much different form severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) but their mode of communication is human contacts. The gnomic structure of CoV-19 possesses the largest genomes (26.4 to 31.7 kb) among all RNA virus. Two-third of their RNA has viral polymerase, RNA synthesis material and two large non-structural polyproteins that are not actually involved in host response modulation (ORF1a/ORF1b). Other one-third of the gnome encodes structural proteins such as spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), nucleocapsid (N) and other helper proteins. The length of their genome showed high variability for ORF1a/ORF1b and structural proteins. It is generally associated with number and size of proteins. Genomic encoding occurs after entering to the human cell and facilitates the expression of genes and encode according to useful accessory proteins with advance adaptation of the virus to their human host [1].
